Highest Customer Rated Paramotor School On The West Coast For Over Ten Years
Basic Training
Team Fly Halo paramotor training has always been known for being a fully-immersed, comprehensive course designed to fit in the time span of a vacation. Our instructors are thorough, knowledgeable, and dedicated to giving you the skills and know-how you need to successfully and safely start the sport of powered paragliding.
TFH “Basic Training” focuses on fundamentals and skills development, delivered to small classes (maximum of 6 students), offering lots of one-on-one attention throughout the course. There are nine training days total - you will be responsible for finding your own way to class and local accommodations, but we take care of the rest! All training gear and study material is provided by TFH, you just get yourself to class with a great attitude ready to give it your all.
Basic Training is geared for those who are fully committed to joining the sport, have done their research, and know that Fly Halo is the team to join. While we do provide gear for training, we ask that you use us as your source for all things paramotor, and purchase gear through us. Tight on cash? No worries – we believe that it’s better to get quality used equipment vs. new “low end” gear. Just let us know your needs and we’ll do our best to find the right fit.
Basic Training Overview
We at TFH have always believed that glider control is paramount – and our courses focus on getting you to a level where you are always in control and knowing what the glider is doing. We achieve this through a multitude of ground handling drills, several hours practicing with the glider in low wind, high wind, and no wind. We tie this in with instructional tandem paramotor flights as well as “ground drills” with the paramotor on your back. By the time you've mastered all the ground skills, you are ready to execute a safe supervised solo and begin knocking out the in-flight tasks.
The students we train leave as competent, skillful, and ethical aviators ready to start exploring the world on their new craft. We have a great relationship with past students, and all are encouraged to always communicate their experiences with us after the initial training.
